Polling the accelerometer/motion sensor in a MacBook Pro

There is a compiled command line application here that does this.

Is there a Cocoa API to query this data?

You can try SMSLib, which is an open-source Objective-C library for accessing the sudden motion sensor.

There isn't a Cocoa API for the motion sensor. It's only available through calls to IOKit. It's described in Mac OS X Internals.

A better link is this one which is the author's page about the sudden motion sensor with sample code. – Rondure 12/8, 2011 at 1:25
